Groundbreaking News from Affinity near Aldershot GO Station

Great selection of one to 2-bedroom-plus-separate-dining-room suites available

Construction is now underway at the successful Affinity Condos in Burlington. As a result, Rosehaven has moved into their new Presentation Centre at 516 Plains Road East, Unit 13, open from the weekend of February 3rd, 2018.

Affinity consists of two contemporary six-storey mid-rise buildings, each with its own fitness/yoga room, party room with kitchen and roof top terrace. Exteriors will feature stunning glass walls, ‘wood’ accents, and striking black brick with stone and stucco elements.

The response to Affinity among condo buyers has been incredible. Rosehaven first released Affinity West, which quickly became Burlington’s best selling mid-rise condo. Following this early success, Affinity East was opened to the delight of a growing community of condo purchasers.

Located minutes to the Aldershot GO Station and with quick highway access, this inspired condo community answers the needs of a wide range of buyers from empty-nesters to first time buyers and young professionals. Residents will enjoy the carefree condo lifestyle with numerous amenities in an established neighbourhood that is close to waterfront parks and trails. Snow shoveling, leaf raking and other upkeep chores are a thing of the past and the ability to ‘lock-and-leave’ without a care makes travel easy and worry-free.

From the moment you step into either building at Affinity, you’re welcomed in style in lobbies crafted with sleek finishes and marble accents. The building’s designer lounge provides a sophisticated setting for residents to greet guests and chat with neighbours. Sure to be a favourite, the rooftop terrace of each building features BBQ’s, outdoor fireplaces and conversation seating.

Those who have experienced the joys of having your own Party Room will say that entertaining even a large crowd is a breeze. Affinity’s Party Room offers a kitchen area, dining table, TV, billiards and conversation area with stylish contemporary decor.

Residents will discover the convenience of having a gym an elevator ride away; no more gym fees or cold winter morning workouts. Both buildings offer their own spacious fitness area and yoga room, complete with state-of-the-art equipment.

The contemporary suite designs are stunning and bright with plenty of windows to let the outdoors in. Suites will be finished with wide plank laminate flooring throughout and 12” x 24” imported porcelain floor tile in bathrooms; quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms; 9’ smooth ceilings in suites (10’ ceilings on 6th floor suites). Suites include five appliances, state of the art roller blinds, one underground parking space and a storage unit.

Set in a leafy established residential neighbourhood between Aldershot Park and Teal Greenway Park, Affinity is surrounded by green spaces and Lake Ontario’s picturesque Burlington Bay is to the south. In fact, it’s only a 20-minute walk to the Waterfront Trail or a 4-minute car ride. Recreational access to the lake is found at nearby LaSalle Park with Marina, event pavilion, trails, boardwalk, beach, picnic areas and wading pool, with plenty of free parking. Aldershot is also home to the famed 2,700-acre Royal Botanical Gardens, the largest of its kind in Canada and a favourite destination.

But don’t be mislead by all the natural splendour; the neighbourhood is well served with convenient amenities. Shopping, schools, restaurants abound, with Ikea and Mapleview Shopping Centre, cinemas and big box stores just minutes away by car or transit.

If you’re concerned that you’ve missed out on a real opportunity, don’t worry. There is a great selection of suites available from one-bedroom up to 2-bedroom-plus formal dining room that range in size from 575 up to 1,272 sq.ft. priced from the mid $300’s.

Affinity is bringing condo excitement to Burlington’s Aldershot neighbourhood and the response has been incredible. If you want to learn why all the excitement, mark your calendar to visit the new Presentation Centre. Visit AffinityCondos.ca for more.

Editor’s Choice: Rosehaven Homes

At 25, Rosehaven is just getting started

At the beginning of Rosehaven Homes’ 25th anniversary year, they vowed this would be its best year yet. With the year only halfway through, the trusted builder looks like it is on track to achieve just that.

Rosehaven could have looked back in pride. After all, since their first community opened in Waterdown in 1992, Rosehaven has built over 6,000 homes in many inspired new home communities all over Southern Ontario. They’ve received numerous awards and been recognized for excellence at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. With one of the highest repeat buyer rates, the builder has proven they build customer satisfaction.

But resting on past achievements is simply not the Rosehaven way. Continually striving for excellence, Rosehaven Homes offers something for everyone. This year’s incredibly successful new releases in Stoney Creek, Ancaster and Brampton are proof that at 25, Rosehaven is just getting started.

Rosehaven launched Phase 2 at On The Ridge in Stony Creek and sold out of all the townhomes over one weekend. These newly designed freehold townhomes were clearly exactly what buyers wanted; terrific, high-quality homes in a vibrant neighbourhood near shopping, dining, entertainment, parks and trails.

The new release of stunning singles, semis and towns at Tiffany Hill in Ancaster also sold out in under a week. Buyers had been eagerly awaiting this new release in a lovely, established, family-friendly neighbourhood, and homes were quickly snapped up.

And to top that off, a new phase of singles and towns was released at The Neighborhoods of Mount Pleasant. This release was also much anticipated and the singles sold out in just a few days.

Rosehaven Homes’ first foray into the Burlington condo market is another triumph. Released in 2016, Affinity West is already the fastest selling midrise in Burlington’s Aldershot neighbourhood. Affinity West is 90 per cent sold and Affinity East just opened, offering new designs and larger suites from one-bedroom up to two-bedroom plus formal dining room, ranging in size from 585 up to 1,272 square feet. The Presentation Centre is located at 348 Plains Road East in Aldershot.

Rosehaven will take a pause to celebrate 25 years of building on July 10. The second half of Rosehaven’s anniversary year gets underway after that and it promises to be equally busy, with a number of new releases coming this fall and late 2017.

Those buyers who missed out on the recent releases will be excited to hear that On The Ridge returns this fall to Stoney Creek. The first launch will be offering freehold towns and semis, and will be followed later in the year with 40- and 35-foot singles.

Tiffany Hill in Ancaster just gets better because everything about this desirable neighborhood has been planned with a sense of community in mind. Rosehaven’s next release will feature 45- and 40-foot singles, freehold towns and condo towns in this “country-chic” community traced with parks and trails, woodlands and waterfalls.

Also coming later this fall is more of what Brampton buyers love at The Neighbourhoods of Mount Pleasant. A new release of singles and towns with stone, brick and stucco exteriors are coming to this popular community of beautiful homes.

With a new highrise condo in the planning stages for Grimsby, new singles and towns coming to North Oakville, a new release coming soon to Anchor Woods in Holland Landing and Dreamfields in Bradford, this is clearly going to be a year to remember for Rosehaven Homes and their delighted new homebuyers.

The Bank of Canada held its target for the overnight rate at 1.75 per cent on Jan. 9, where it has been since October 2018, and is lowering its growth forecast this year for Canada and around the world.

It may be a new year, but not necessarily a happy one for everyone. A new CIBC poll finds paying down debt is the top financial priority for Canadians heading in 2019. Almost a third (29 per cent) say they've taken on more debt in the past 12 months, citing day-to-day expenses as the key reason for piling up debt.

Pantone’s 2019 Colour of the Year “Living Coral” can do almost anything, proving itself to be much more than just an accent colour.

Affinity East

Rosehaven brings the excitement to Burlington with the Grand Opening of new designs and larger suites

The excitement continues in Burlington with the Grand Opening of Affinity East, offering new designs and larger suites, from one-bedroom up to two-bedroom plus formal dining room and suites ranging in size from 585 up to 1,272 square feet.

After the overwhelming success of Affinity West — over 90 per cent sold and still going strong, Rosehaven is very proud of this much anticipated release of Affinity East.

Once complete, Affinity Condos will consist of two contemporary mid-rise buildings, each with its own fitness/yoga room, party room(s) with kitchen, rooftop terrace & more. Exteriors will feature stunning glass walls, black brick with stone and stucco elements and ‘wood’ accents.

The contemporary suite designs will be finished with wide plank laminate flooring throughout and stunning 12- x 24-inch imported porcelain floor tile in all bathrooms; quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms; 9-foot smooth ceilings in suites (10-foot ceilings on 6th floor suites). Suites include five appliances, state of the art roller blinds, one underground parking space and a storage unit.

With Affinity, Rosehaven is bringing condo excitement to Filmandale Road and Plains Road East in Aldershot, a picturesque village within Burlington. This newly rediscovered community along Burlington Bay in Lake Ontario is seeing a new vibrancy and a revitalization following construction of an interchange to divert traffic and retain the charming ‘downtown’ core. The growing interest in the Aldershot area is understandable given the quick access to highways as well as the Aldershot GO station that is conveniently walking distance from Affinity.

Set in a leafy established residential neighbourhood between Aldershot Park and Teal Greenway Park as well as near Burlington Golf and Country Club, Affinity is surrounded by green space including the Waterfront Trail. Access to Lake Ontario is found at nearby LaSalle Park with Marina, event pavilion, trails, boardwalk, beach, picnic areas, and wading pool, free parking — and an amazing view of Burlington’s Skyway Bridge that leads to Niagara and The Falls. Of course, Aldershot is home to the famed 2,700-acre Royal Botanical Gardens, the largest of its kind in Canada.

Living in Aldershot also means being near a myriad of outdoor escapes. There are parks, bike paths, trails and literally over 100 waterfalls and cascades along the Hamilton/Stoney Creek portion of the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, not far from Affinity. Highways 403 and 407 make travelling anywhere in the GTA fast and easy. Schools, shops, restaurants and services are at the doorstep.

The best of nature and neighbourhood near the pulse of the city? Have it all at Affinity.

Visit the Presentation Centre, located at 348 Plains Road East in Aldershot/Burlington. Affinity East offers a limited number of suites, a fully decorated model suite and view the scale model showcasing Affinity East and West.

The West – Condominiums at Stationwest

The latest phase of Adi Developments’ thoughtfully designed new project is beautifully nestled in Burlington’s scenic green enclave

A rare standout in the GTA, Stationwest is directly connected to Burlington’s full-service Aldershot GO Station, allowing residents a seamless commute to Toronto’s Union Station in under an hour.

Adi Development Group’s major 13-acre master-planned community will consist of 233 traditional, back-to-back and urban townhomes with pedestrian-friendly shared courtyards, as well as a one-acre public park. Adding to this project, The West — Condominiums at Stationwest is the newest phase, offering a bold collection of ultra-modern luxury boutique midrise condos.

There has been incredible demand for the first two phases at Stationwest. After launching in May 2016, Stationwest sold all 93 townhomes in Phase One in a single weekend. Interest continues to grow with the newest phase, The West, which is currently 75 per cent sold after previewing to VIP registrants in the fall.

“This will be the absolute last opportunity to own in a transit-connected, lowrise community in Burlington, and it won’t last,” says Tariq Adi, CEO of Adi Development Group. “Buyers snapped up the units so quickly in the community. Everybody loves the project. There’s nothing else like it in the GTA.”

Unlike most other midrise projects built with wood, The West is built with concrete construction for durability and comfort. Offering a variety of layouts, ranging from studios at 340 square feet starting from the $190,000s to two-bedroom plus den suites at 865 square feet starting in the $400,000s, the two buildings will be connected with a shared amenity space designed by award-winning interior designers U31. Some of the outstanding features include a show-stopping lobby with warm wood paneling and stone features and a welcoming concierge to attend to your needs, a cozy party room with fireplace and outdoor terrace, a convenient fitness centre, and the west building will have a rooftop terrace so you can enjoy warm summer nights with friends.

Each suite was thoughtfully designed using Adi’s IntelliSpace philosophy, which maximizes living space and embraces natural light through a modern style aesthetic. The layouts ensure that each room is bright and open with natural light spilling in, encouraging flow from one room to the next, creating an immediate sense of space as soon as you walk in the front door.

“Stationwest offers a rare balance of comfort and convenience. It’s an ideal family neighbourhood that’s beautifully nestled in Burlington’s scenic green enclave, while still cleverly situated on transit,” says Saud Adi, COO of Adi Development Group. “Highquality, luxe features and finishes are key elements that make each home feel comfortable without sacrificing design or space.”

Removed from the loud and bustling downtown core of Toronto but connected by a quick train ride, Stationwest offers residents room to grow in a mature residential enclave close to nature. From the Village of Waterdown’s quaint downtown, to the shopping areas along Aldershot’s Plains Road, Stationwest offers urban accessibility while being immersed in celebrated parkland. The world famous Royal Botanical Gardens, the waterfront trails at LaSalle Park, and the Lasalle Park Marina for the avid boaters and sailors are just three of the surrounding natural sites that can be enjoyed year-round.

Cover Story – Editor’s Choice: Rosehaven Homes

Is there anything better than being 25?

Actually, it’s just the beginning! This year Rosehaven celebrates its 25th Anniversary and they are going to make it one of the best years ever. Rosehaven has built homes for over 6,000 families so far and has won lots of awards doing it. But, at 25, they are just hitting their stride. So wait until you see what Rosehaven has planned for this year. And the year after. And the year after . . .

The team at Rosehaven is passionate about architecture and design. Great architecture inspires them. Superior construction drives them. At the forefront of innovative design and construction since its inception, Rosehaven Homes has received a long list of rewards for excellence on local, national and world-class levels. Most recently, Rosehaven was happy to be the recipient of the 2016 HERS Award, Home Energy Efficiency Canadian President’s Award for Most Homes Rated HERS 53 or Lower.

You’d expect a 25 year old to be tech savvy. That’s why you’ll see Rosehaven’s online presence moving front and centre with evolving content, including Facebook contests and activities. Never satisfied with riding on the success of the past, Rosehaven is always thinking about how to improve the homebuying experience. The new year will see the launch of their redesigned website with a fresh new look and loads of connectivity so homebuyers can share their dreams and ideas directly with Rosehaven.

After years of planning, Rosehaven will have a number of superb new home communities available for buyers seeking chic designs, enviable amenities and convenient locations in 2017 and beyond.
